IN THE HEART OF THE COMMUNITY
SPEND TIME WITH US IN TARBERT
Our distillery can be found in the heart of the Isle of Harris, a small Outer Hebridean island off the far north-west of Scotland.
In a harbour village, just yards from the waters of East Loch Tarbert, a white and copper-clad building holds a family of local men and women dedicated to making beautiful island spirits with pride and provenance.
Inside, our fire is lit on colder days, welcoming visitors and reflecting a tradition of warmth and hospitality shaped by the generations who have gone before us. Even when the fire is resting, the hearth remains a place of warmth, carried by the people who gather around it.
Our doors are open to all, six days a week, with a true island welcome awaiting those who take the long road to see us.
Hear our stories, sample our spirits, shop for exclusive local wares, enjoy coffee or a cocktail, and relax among friends by our fireside.
